Advantages: Costs you nothing for earning money, You do not write for the sheer hell of it like Ciao and Dooyoo, Easy to set up and run

Disadvantages: Not all emails gets stamped, Minimum requirement of use per month, Statement of earning get updated on a monthly basis

I have been using mailround for nearly seven months now, and I am quite happy with the amount of money that I am starting to earn.

As with everything though, there are good points and bad points, and with mailround.com, it is even between them both. I will still stay with mailround.com to say that I am earning a little money. You do find that some of the emails are not even being stamped as and when I receive them.

Now you must be thinking, what is this bloke on about stamps? Well these stamps are small icons / banners on your emails that you have placed onto your email as and when you send and receive them.

As you send emails, mailround icon comes up asking you if you want the outgoing email to be stamped, so if it is an important email e.g. a CV for a job then you would not stamp it, but if it was for a friend, then you would more than likely stamp it.

*Where do the stamps get located?*

The stamps become located on the top right hand corner of your email or sometimes at the bottom of the page. Not all the time does mailround.com stamp your emails. If non of your emails get stamped, then you have to reinstall the program into your computer or it is because you have set the program not to stamp to that address. Sometimes only some of your emails get stamped, this is because that emails with attachments do not get stamped, or if the server was down at the time the email was sent, although this does not happen as frequently as it used to. I have also found that if you subscribe to a regular email service, then it wont stamp all emails, but half of them so dont try and make more money by signing up to things as it does not work.

*How do I get the software?*

If you log onto mailround.com, then download the mailround program. The progame does not take long to download (only about 5 mins max) and does not take up much drive space. The program installs itself into your hard drive so it does not interfer w
ith your other programs. The program once installed is ready to use as soon as you notice a small postman type icon at the bottom right hand corner of your screen. The mailround program has very little effect on the speed of your computer. The only thing that you would notice it on is the sending and receiving of emails, but this is only effected by about 20 seconds max.

*What type of stamps do I receive and send? *

You have many options on which stamps you want sending to you, but you have to choose a minimum of six categories out of 20 categories. If you wish, you can choose all 20 categories. The categories are;

Books
Business
Careers
Computers & Electronics
Fashion & Clothing
Finance
Food & Drink
Health & Beauty
Home
Humour
Internet
Motoring
Movies
Music
Property
Shopping
Sports & Outdoors
Toys & Games
Travel
What's on

Out of these categories, you only choose a minimum of six. You can have all if you wish. These stamps appear on your email, and if you are interested in any of the topics that are advertised, then you click onto the icon. If you use or create any sale for any of the companies that advertise on stamps(which includes being put through to another website), then you earn a bit more money. You can only though click on the stamp once per email!

When sending emails, you can change the settings and itemise which categories you want sending to that particular person. Out of the whole 20 categories, you can only give them two categories. This then can cause some emails not to get stamped expecially if there is nocompany advertising in that category at that specific time.

*How much do I earn?*

This all depends on how much you use emails by sending and receiving them. At the end of each month, you get a email from mailround telling you what category you come under in the payment bracket. There ar
e three brackets, bronze, silver and gold. The bronze is for the occasional user which earns about £50 in a year. This equals to about 60% of mailrounds. Silver is for regular users where you earn about £70 a year, and then there is gold which is for the heavey users where they earn £100. Mailround estamates the minimum that you earn a year is about £50. At present though, I am on £9.50 in the matter of six months, although it is excluding this months total.

As a added benefit, for every referal you make, you gain a extra £2 per person, except, I am still waiting to see this benefit.

There is something to watch out for. If you do not send enough emails and receive enough durring the month, then your emails will stop being stamped. The mimimum requirement in earnings have been reduced from £4 to £3.50 to encourage more members, but this is quite hard to earn this amount. This therefore I would recommend if you do join is to click on the stamps for general interest and to keep your programme working.

*So you earn this money, but what can you spend your money on?*

There are numerious things in which you can spend your money on. This is set out into different categories as below;

Internet
~~~~~~~~

Amazon.co.uk

High Streets
~~~~~~~~~~~~

Marks & Spencer

Food
~~~~

Pizza Hut
Tesco

Health and Fitness
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

David Lloyd health clubs

Other
~~~~~

Donations to Childrens Aid Direct
Marriott Hotel chain
Mailround

All of these partners can be claimed as long as that you have sufficient funds. For Amazon.co.uk, a gift certificate will be emailed to you. All the others, you will get gift vouchers through the post except mailround which will be a cheque.

*How much are these parnters worth?*

<br>When you have sufficient funds in your account, you can claim gift vouchers for the following
values;

£10
£20
£30
£40
£50

For Mailround itself, the cheque will be sent for the value of £50 or £100.

*If I require any assistance?*

If there are any questions to ask about mailround and about earning information, their website is very informative, and there is no need to send a email to them asking for further information. Everything is answered for you and in enough depth for you to understand, and it is in simple plain english.

*If I more than one email address*

If this is the case like myself, it does not really matter. This is because the mailround programme will stamp all emails as they arrive reguardless of which account it goes to. However, if you access your emails from different computers, then the mailround programme must be installed on all in order for the mailround centre to register that the emails have been stamped.

*Evaluation*

This is a good service for doing nothing and takes up no time writing articles like you do for Ciao and Dooyoo and you need not do anything. This is because you are sending emails for a reason, and not for a something to do.
